Does anyone think it’s weird that pretty soon after the “liberation” of Afghanistan - a country with only one really well known export -there was an opioid crisis in the United States?
I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to fentanyl. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

Crazy to think that back in the days, we used to have to worry about our drugs being laced with Heroin. Now we have to worry about our Heroin being laced with Fentanyl.
This right here @@Steve-ev6vx Ban something, there will always be a demand for it and The stricter we've got in the worst the supply has gotten. Policy makers and law enforcement just doesnt seem to want to learn that lesson
I was using heroin for 18 years and been clean for 2+ years now, I watched the Opioid pandemic slowly turn from Heroin into fentanyl, what happened was the dealers start cutting the heroin with it and in no time at all the users need the fentanyl more than the heroin. They start to look for the fentanyl because heroin isn’t strong enough and doesn’t stop enough of the withdrawal from the fentanyl. Most of the users that switch from heroin to fentanyl don’t do it because they like fentanyl more they do it because they will be dope sick if they don’t. Most heroin users will tell you they want pure heroin but you can barely even find it in America anymore and if you do it’s weak heroin. So glad I am not a prisoner anymore.
DEALERS cut reg. Heroin with Fenty it gives the so called heroin a " bigger hit" a user gets a bigger hit from their wht they THINK is heroin its a way of making them " loyal" to certain dealer and the " word" gets around tht dealers heroin is MORE POTENT insuring the dealer $ and then the dealer mixes more and more fenty in their supply then the high content heroin gets cut with Trang. A horse tranquilizer because users think " nodding out is a sign the heroin/ fenty is "great" but it kills the tiny blood vessels around the injection site and when users find a " great" injection site they keep injectioning in the same site CREATING AN ULCER or " honeyhole" it gets infected with staph ppl dont have basic personal care HOW CAN THEY care for a gangerous ulcer on the street and when they FINALLY go to ED drs dont treat with respect they see them them as " drug seeking addicts" which are the lowest of low in society not THE SICK DYING HUMAN they are they are someone's child / parent etc and the truth is MOST ADDICTS don't want to be addicts they are AFRAID OF GETTING sick the with drawl from opiods is AWFUL ( I personally have gone thru it I have a spinal cord injury thts why I'm prescribed pain rx) but the withdrawal starts where your cold freezing but SWEATING at the same time the most intense burning muscle aches ever and I've broken my back withdrawal is worst you can't not find a comfortable spot your antsy like nothing you have ever felt before then the nausea and diarrhea start then when you have zero left in your colon and your dry heaving at the same time you become dehydrated and begin to see things your b/ p drops dangerously low and you have been awake now 7-10days and your body has begun to eat itself you lose up to 25lbs I did the proven treatment tht WORKS is a gradually stepping dwn the opioid dose with personal therapy job training giving ppl hope because addiction is TRAUMA+ ENVIRONMENT + PERSONALITY + DNA= ADDICTION pure and simple where I live putting addicts in jail is an industry some entire small towns economies depend on addicts going to jail repeatedly this is how it works twn arrests in 2022 1 person for drugs they arrest 3 ppl in 2023 they NOW can apply ( even if those ppl didn't live in community and were passing thru) for state and federal funds CLAIMING drugs and drug "crimes" have gone up 150% in his small twn ( even if drug amrita was reside in a baggie) and he will get funds ( those funds come from $ seized from drug dealers ) he may choose to hire a cop or buy a worthless toy like a drone the police dept has no training to use but if he chooses to hire a cop tht cop has to live and pay rent somewhere has to buy groceries somewhere ALL THT BOUGHT WITH GRANT $ FROM SEIZEX FUNDS FROM DRUG DEALERS so the government NEEDS DRUG DEALERS without them tht cop gets let go etc the " war" on drugs WILL NEVER BE SOLVED another thing is there is not enough jobs to fully employ entire generation of males and there is still an undercover fear of PIC in some communities and they prefer them locked up and caught up in a system they can't get out of
Good herion gives you a way bettrr high tho. Fentwnyl makes you nod out too much. You enjoy the buzz for like a hour then fall asleep or die. Atleast with herion you can enjoy the buzz much longer without completely going out. Depending on how much you do.
I’m sober now, too, but I remember when fent first started popping up in the area my friends & I grabbed from in the mid 2010s. I hated it at first, didn’t enjoy the high at all…I’d end up passed out almost immediately, wake up & need more. No real euphoria. But the more I used it, exactly like you said, I ended up needing it just to feel “normal” & not be sick. By the end, if I didn’t turn into a comatose zombie after a line or two, I didn’t consider it worth doing. That was normal to me, after years of doing it. Insane.

Because he does not want to feel , their are people who do not abuse drugs who FEEL horrific pain every waking hour of the day because doctors do not want to give pain medicine even for a broken bone. That is sad. The addicts don't want to work just lie around and get high and when they are not doing that they are stealing to support their habit that is another way they hurt people. They leave a trail of misery wherever they go for other people. . My uncle used to steal from his mother. If they want to do it that is their choice but they are hurting other people and that is not okay. Stop, babying the druggies.
@@feschber anything, when You try opiates to relievie your Pain, physical or psychological It works like a charm.

Even if you go past withdrawal there will always be a feeling of missing something important

I could hook you up with a bag of X drug, a totally normal person, and after that bag, you'd probably just live in the street and your brain's effort spent trying to get more of the drug (after the withdrawal starts). Addiction is never simple. If you're addicted, then you likely need medical help to help stop, and want to stop.

If you can't have the capacity to do the research on said drug before you take it, that's no one else's fault but your own.

@@kchankchan Yes. Maybe so. But a very different time ago as well as a very different set of Victorian values which no longer exist. From back in the old days before Opium use and sales were restricted or illegalised. back when London had it's Opium Dens or Opium Houses.
You could call the would be supplers, compertition. But the war is not against compertition but against the free flow and free uncontrolled supply or flooding of a country's own regulated supplys. If a group with-in a country had a ware house the size of a mountain brimming to the cealing with nacotic drugs legally with in their own country. Then that would likely be no problem if bussiness was conducted legitamately. The war against drugs is not against those but is against offenders trying to by-pass federal importation control laws. IE illegal smugglers totally unprepraed to contribute to a health care system or doctors bills ETC when the suffering start to go really wrong. In the case of the illegal smuggle (competition) their supply is a form of victimisation rather than proper medical help. Their interests are purly money and not health. So sorry. But yes there has been a 'war against illegal drugs'. You could benefit from reading some of the storys of those serving long prison sentences.
I’m a recovering addict and I have been saying for a few years now it’s just a matter of time until that fentanyl crap comes over here. I’m glad I got off it when I did. Please be careful people. Get help and get it now.
@@laurarojas8490Fentanyl is fentanyl and the chief reason why people are actively dying of drug overdoses by the minute. It's literally poisoning the street supply.
I’m a paramedic in Glasgow and my colleagues and I often know there’s a bad batch doing the rounds certainly before politicians but fairly often even before the police. IVDUs will do the most they can to hide from the police but we often see them at their very lowest point. They phone us when their friends are dying in front of them. Most of them know we don’t want to judge them, just help however we can. We issue take home narcan kits which contain enough naloxone in a pre filled syringe to take most regular users right through into cold turkey. We have begun again in the last few months getting calls saying they have given the entire syringe and the person began to wake up but they tanked again. All we can do is attempt to give more (IV access is likely to be incredibly difficult for us on someone who has bashed the hell out of their veins for years) support their breathing to avoid hypoxic brain injury and bolt to the hospital. It’s heartbreaking when we meet people who tell us how they’ve lost friends, partners, parents and sometimes their children to dodgy batches mixed with who know what.
I was an addict in Glasgow for 20 years. Out of interest, how do you administer the naloxone if someone has run out of veins? Would it be an IM injection, or a spray to target capillaries in the nasal, or anal, passage?
@@raoulduke344 SAS gives out IM kits that contain 2mg/2ml naloxone. That officially 5 doses. IM is the only kits we have to hand out. Police Scotland and some of the harm reduction teams carry the nasal sprays. The nasal sprays are good because there’s no risk of uncapped high-risk needle stick injuries. The nasal spray is fast but they tend to be lower doses, I think the last one I saw the police use was 0.8mg. That’s a double dose but it holds the pt over until we get there. I used to work with a SAS veteran who was particularly good at jugular access for IV naloxone in some of our more long term users as very very few attempt to mess about with the jugular vein. Scared the 💩 out me trying it though! ETA I think some of the harm reduction teams will also hand out the nasal sprays if you ask.
@@Updatenotavailable the police and harm reduction teams do. However we tend to go IV if we can, we have enough practice to be somewhat needle ninjas when required! If not it’s a double dose IM and supported breathing to hospital. It’s the hypoxia that’s so dangerous . The police can’t secure an airway and give o2 and ventilations
This is all by design. Governments are behind the drugs trade. This is a war on socety´s lowest. It´s the biggest lie going that Afganistan produces nearly all the west heroin supply. The country that supplies the Acetic anhydride, is also a key producer without the Acetic anhydride, there would be no heroin.
I have known a couple of heroin users in my local hospise here in denmark since I was homeless for 13 months in 2002/2003, only seen 2 smoke it!heard of a couple of stories on how their 1st time was a pure moment of bliss, then they got hooked after that shot!this stuff looks effin scary!we dont have druggies on the sidewalks though!
The drug problem increased exponentially since 2020. The Covid crisis, lockdowns caused mental health to go down and more choosing substance abuse. I have seen it myself people who were normal and now destroying their lives in front of my eyes
@@Leo-pv9zi did I say the drugs were natural? No. You obviously don’t know what natural selection is so I will clue you in; natural selection refers to the dying out of stupid people, and only a stupid person would take this drug, so naturally, they will die out. There are many instances of natural selection and taking dangerous drugs is definitely in the category. Let me guess, it’s probably someone else’s fault and these people wouldn’t be dying if the drug wasn’t invented; see that’s the thing about natural selection and how it only affects stupid people; if they didn’t have this drug, they’d find something else. Crazy that this needs to be explained really but then again maybe you’re in the category so the IQ level isn’t quite there. Good luck.
There's many reports coming out now proving lockdowns were a terrible way to handle covid, the world leaders messed up big time, whether that was deliberate or just idiocy is up for debate.

Yeah heroin and crack is huge in UK but not so much in Europe; you still get heroin addicts all over of course but very little crack. Especially in eastern europe, huge majority of homeless on the street are alcoholics. In UK there's barely any, they're all drug addicts.
I'm one of the lucky ones, I was injured given morphine then oxy. Then I was "cured". Nope I was a heroine addicted blue collar guy! Was at a methadone clinic for over 7 years, followed every rule, now clean for over 6 years.
I’m now a defense attorney but for 10 years I was a probation officer in Massachusetts. I remember when the transition from heroin to fentanyl started. First it was that heroin was cut with fentanyl. then over about a 12-18 month period, heroin disappeared. My last few years as a probation officer not a single person tested positive for morphine (the most common metabolite in heroin). It was all fentanyl. Overdoses rose like crazy. Incredibly sad. The war on drugs is a failure. The transition to fentanyl and the staggering overdose deaths that followed is a direct result of the war on drugs. It must end !
You should come visit Oregon where we surrendered and legalized everything. In a couple of years things are 10x worse, addiction is way up, OD deaths are way up. We're getting ready to admit the error and re-criminalize drugs to give the police the power to try to control the situation..

Because weed and alcohol lmao. You won't get stuck on heroin, if no one introduces you to it. In the US, that's the pharmaceutical companies and doctors.
@@MultiSciGeek You stated 'the pharmaceutical companies and doctors are who introduces people In the US to heroin use'. Almost as if you blaimed or accused US pharmaceutical companies and doctors of being one of the key groups behind the US problem. But are there therefore no regulatory laws in the USA? Is heroin not a controlled substance as it is over here in England requiring a licence as well as qualification to distribute or prescribe. So therefore heroin or opiates is a prescription only drug which can only be prescribe by qualified and licenced dorctors? So how is it that they as you stated are behind an epidemic of illegal uncontrolled non qualified use by those poor supposed addicts. The doctors are only permitted to prescribe for medical reasons and so any opioid prescriptions are for servea medical needs. The US pharmaceutical companies are not pushing street drugs or drugs for illegal purposes. Their licence to supply is dependant upon their supplys being to only prescription cases when the drug is prescription only. Those junkies you see in the video cooking up their junk on tin foil is some derilict environment are users of the underground black market buying from unlicenced non qualified criminals. Is that not how it is really? See that guy at 10:47 using strrt methods! If a qualified doctor prescribed and instructed him to do that then the doctor could be struck off and lose nearly $100,000 dollars per annum legitamate income.
As an American with 15years sober and no friends left from that time, I hope the UK handles this differently then the US did. I’m so thankful I made it out before fentanyl hit our area. Please learn from our mistakes, let the millions who died teach you something.

This is pure ignorance, most people are testing their drugs from what I’ve seen. It’s natural selection in a way, if you aren’t gonna test it, your playing Russian roulette. you just HAVE to assume it’s all fentanyl.
Learn the facts about which drugs are which. You may come into some pain in your life one day and it's not all the same. There is a lot of ignorance provided by puritans in the war on drugs who lie and say that beer is the same as moonshine. It is not. And you have to find out the appropriate dose and have a safe supply, you learn this by talking to people who have experience. There are so many drug poisonings that happen for people like you who stay away mostly and then one day try it without being taught the basics. Coffee is a dangerous drug also and will cause a heart attack fatality if you take the wrong dose of caffeine. Knowledge is what will keep you safe, not being pure. There is no such thing as pure drug free, our body is made of chemicals.
There is other ways for you to get hooked. I got into an accident at work and injured my right side of my body in 2012 and since then ive lived with pain and after 46 different medications in 3 years just to avoid morphine, i had to start on morphine and now im hooked on morphine which is just the same but different name. So hope you never get injuries/chronic pain.
it's the drugs who find you. either through injury like the person above mentioned, but there is also a specific kind of lost individual that drugs attract, as part of drives for escape and self-destruction, coupled with low self-control. it's not just any kid who hits a blunt to experiment
went into rehab about a month ago. they've never heard of nitazenes. i told them they're gonna update: still in rehab, doing great. but heard quite a few nitazene horror storys by other patients.
We need some studies to find out why people feel a need to get out of their head. Poverty, already addicted, mental illness - whatever it is. That is where we should be doing more work.
@@luckyduck_. Agreed. People with no hope, and no foreseeable way forward. It's the thing that never seems to get talked about - there will always be drugs around, but it's the desire people feel to get spaced out that's the main issue. Personally, I've never a desire to buy street drugs, and if I can make that initial choice, so can others. Also, people need to stop talking about weed as though it's not a gateway drug, or is somehow healthy because it's "natural". It's BS. But if you question it with a weed smoker they use the very tired argument of "what about alcohol"?!? We all initially have a choice - we can choose not to use. We can decide to spend our time in the real world, and not an altered perception of it.
@@MaterLacrymarumor we could just look at current society.... The break down of the family, lack of personal responsibility, free money, the lack of moral fibre of politicians. DEI, woke police... Equal outcomes!
@@TheJon2442 On the contrary - you've just spewed the usual conspiratorial crap that circles the drain of extreme-right thinking.

So how do they get into that state? The ONLY justification is when opioids get pushed on people by doctors and they get addicted that way. But I have no sympathy for people who choose to get involved in drugs for fun and just like getting high.

For my euro homies: Sounds like its already started there tbh. Brace yourselves. I was a teenager and young adult at the start of the opiate crisis in america. Lost alot of friends that I wish were still here with me now. And even got caught up in it myself for a time. Dont make the mistake of believing that it only happens to {{insert people your biased against}} because if you're caught off guard, it can and will take people close to you and no one will come out untouched. :\
Luckily for me, when we were young 20 years ago we only had weed, X, coke, K, hydro/oxy and shrooms to play with. No fetanyl or spice synthetics back then
Things are already like this for a long time, can still remember about 10 years ago seeiing those big traffic signs (in Amsterdam centrum) you could tow behind your car to usually have something about the traffic on them like this way is closed take follow this route or whatever, but now they were saying dont buy heroine as there was something wrong with it dont know the excat message anymore but it was because some people died and almost died within a weekend because of bad heroine so the city put such signs up for a couple weeks. I excatly believe the caught the dealler selling that stuff aswell but not to sure about that.
on a another note the Netherlands goverment also provides some hardcore heroine addicts with heroine so they get clean heroine as there isnt that much of a market so the heroine out there is crap and it also helps these users to somewhat get a life and dont go out stealing or always thinking where to get there other hit. I dont imagine you could do this in USA as there are way to many of such users but here it works quite well.
@@larryc1616 fentanyl was definitely around then. It’s carfentanyl that’s being sold in the streets. Fentanyl has been used in the medical setting for a looong time.
@JR-mh8vn Conservatives here would never allow it. They want to lock up all drug users and the homeless is their solution. They're too dumb and lack empathy = American Taliban
if you know even a little about how the drug market and addiction work and are connected to each other, it just makes you sad how governments around the world are handling the problem
You think this isn't allowed/encouraged/facilitated by governments? Think maybe the reason US left Afghanistan is the heroin profits fell from the change to fentanyl? Maybe needed big pharma to profit from new drugs? Few of those in power are anything but self serving.
A constantly depleating resource eh? I watch kids going and coming from high school behind my house doing joints/gummies/crack.Then attending classes. Lucky teachers eh? There will be no shortage of customers, just new younger ones.
i think its because of side contamination of other chemicals used in the synthesis, most pure produced drugs aren't as dangerous as the ones that get passed around second hand and are produced in house etc. for example people tested north korean drugs and they were the purest in the world, very rare to find but hard to over dose on those
People are doing them by accident or getting hooked by medical doctors. Fentanyl is being found on all kinds of surfaces. Attending a party is a major risk. It won't be long before people are wearing gloves in public again. I get my info from the cop who lives next door.
I've had three deaths related to Nitazenes in my peer group through the last half year, the last one being my ex-gf. Its already in Europe, please take care of yourself and your friends!
You can take my word when I tell you that life is so much better on the other side. If you’ve been lucky enough to survive fentanyl this far, please please go seek help.
I’m 29 and never touched a hard drug in my life and I plan to keep it that way. Ive seen what they do to people in the streets of Harlem and the Bronx where I grew up.
"I just didn't want to feel." That one spoke to me where I was. When my mom died, she was on opium solution and there was a bottle left. I had just enough of myself left to send it for disposal. I'm addicted to caffeine and nicotine - that would have been a point of no return.

A lot of good stuff coming out of Estonia too. You should be proud of the journey your country has taken together with the rest of the Baltics. The problem with drugs like fentanyl is that it's propped up by China, and a lot of western governments see it as a way to get rid of their addicts that cost society big money every year in a smooth way that doesn't leave any dirty hands.

@@CastorRabbit didnt dodge it, crack was intentionally supplied to poor coloured communities in america by the reagan administration to fund proxy wars
The huge difference between the US and Europe is that doctors in the US have prescribed opiods even for easy things like backpains. Purdue has made a huge amount of money of this drug...and many couldn´t stay away from it after the "regular" use.
Purdue's success was due in part to Arthur Sackler, a brilliant polymath who paid for his medical education by working in an advertising agency and brought the hard sell to the prescription drug industry. He bought Napp, a British company which developed the "Continus" slow-release system later used by Purdue for their opiod drugs.
The majority of first time users weren't taking any prescribed opioids, this isn't happening anymore. There was a time of over prescription but now you have to be half dead to get pain meds.
Its crazy, i was a heroin user more than 35 years ago. This stuff is crazy. They need to make changes to the law and stop these synthetics getting into all countries. I know its hard, but this stuff should scare you straight.
Well sadly the law makers are still so uneducated about drugs that they think weed is on the same level as heroin. There's no way they'll be able to recognize the danger coming from this
You talk about how before their addiction they were all normal and then after the addiction and overdoses its not their fault so just blame somebody let's blame somebody it's not gonna help at all if there is no demand for this drug, it would be shut down. i understand and I feel you where you're coming from. I have an addiction also, it's called delicious food and drinks nonalcoholic And the only one that iblamed is myself. Until that person are their families stop blaming someone else for what they are going through. It's all going downhill for them. They have to own up to it to get out of it. it is not the cartel in Mexico, and it is not the poppies growers in Afghanistan. Take a look in the mirror and you will see where the problem is coming from and who is to blame for that problem which is you.
@@rainaflores779You are clueless. The problem is people, for whatever reason, trying hard drugs when they are suffering from mental health issues or when they struggle with their emotions. Nobody wakes up deciding to be a heroin addict. I didn't. Sure, I had to make the changes and do the work to get better and clean but statements like yours are what demonise and victim blame. The people bringing it into the country are scum. They know they are profiting off peoples misery and they don't care. The problem is the total lack of mental health support in the U.K and attitudes like yours that make people feel they can't be honest and ask for help. Addicion is an illness. You'll never understand unless you've suffered it, but the most relatable thing I can compare it to is OCD. Which is a recognised disorder. Would you tell an OCD sufferer that they are the problem? I seriously hope not. And don't forget heroin is given to cancer patients as a painkiller. It has many legal applications in medicine. Are you going to tell a cancer sufferer who gets hooked on Diacytlmorphine (heroin) that they are the problem too? Again, I really hope not.

yep. Drugs should be legal, or atleast pharma grade drugs/prescriptions should all be legal and able to be brought by anyone for any reason.... we should all be able to buy whatever prescriptions we want without a doctor gatekeeping medications.
@@w3w3w3 Wow that is such a good plan. You should go try some of these drugs yourself. I'm sure it'll turn out just fine and you can quit whenever you want!
Checking for Nitazenes isn't going to help. Metonitazine and Etonitazene are being put in the heroin from the top of the supply chain, currently no heroin in the UK doesn't contain Nitazenes. The only way this could be combatted is for the UK government to offer a replacement heroin, which they won't.
@@Eyes_of_Oryx what hes trying to say is that we should be grateful that vice puts their documentarys out for free in general instead of making us pay for them
Highly unlikely. While we might see an increase in overdose deaths the opioid crisis in the US has been largely driven by inappropriate prescription procedures by doctors. We don't prescribe opioids like in the US (at least in the UK) so it's highly unlikely we will see the same massive increase in opioid users as has occurred over the past 2-3 decades in the US.
I did like the section about how access to more pure heroin has helped reduced deaths. We saw a similar thing with cannabis smokers and spice. Very few people ever had a serious problem with cannabis but spice absolutely tore through communities. We should probably just regulate safer recreational drugs as we do with alcohol and for harder drugs prescribe clean, pure product to addicts if they engage with treatment services.
I was looking for a comment like that. Exactly - central Europe here. Any legal drug containing opioids is highly regulated and they are prescribed on a special type of prescription (and usually only as a last resort if weaker drugs fail). My country has a population of ca. 40 million and we get ca. 250 overdose deaths yearly.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
Again, a clear example how most problems with drug abuse come from letting the market be uncontrolled. Some humans always have done drugs throughout history, yet the biggest problems with it have arisen since the UN drug convention criminalizes use of most drugs - One almost could think this could have been one of the largest successful collaborations of organized crime and big pharma, both being the main profiteers of drug criminalization, while all others pay heavily for this enormous blunder of society.
In the 90´s Portugal had one of the highest rates of drug overdoses and HIV, among drug users in Europe. They decided to do something new, decriminalisation of all drugs for personal use and spend money helping the addicts instead. It worked. I think we need to help addicts, not punish them.
Yes they gave with 1 hand and took with the other hence same outcome as nothing ? ie very slyly done that's why nothing has really changed there etc the reason I didn't mention where is because I want people to use the initiative and look and research for themselves also to give ideas to help us all etc and not just 1 demographic anyway it all boils down to if druxs were legal and free no one would want them ie not oh if you have this that n this amount your ok but anything over and ? etc but anyway thanks for your info and input sis 👍🏻
I'm not sure that there isn't a cynical political element that thinks the best solution is for addicts to take the most dangerous drugs so that they die and don't need any interventions / funding and politicians can look the other way. We seen to live in one of the most uncaring times really sad.
@natas2350, you're right. I'm born and raised in and near Seattle. I remember the sign saying "Will the last person leaving Seattle, please turn out the lights" This was many years ago.

I feel like this report misses some big aapects of why europe isnt in a similar opiod crisis: - fewer opiod prescriptions by doctors - heroine not being a popular drug (most European heroine addicts are 40 years or older) - clean supplies of a lot of drugs because of manufacturing in european countries - multiple countries with leagal state sponsored, drug testing
I lived on the street in st. pauls most of the bristol filming occured on from summmer 2022 to 2023 and the addicts were the nicest most harmless people youll ever meet but they were struggling so bad in the winter it was sub zero conditions for months and it was so cold there was nobody out to give them money or food it doesnt suprise me so many died. god bless them all man x
2:30 the fact that I know that yet again there is a bad batch of heroin going round Bristol atm with 4 people taken to hospital last night alone due to being in cardiac/respiratory arrest.
Yep I know of several Deaths South of Bristol this past couple of Weeks! Heard on News of another 10 in Hospital with 2 of those Dying, that is within Weston Super Mare Area a couple weeks ago.
I was a ex heroin addict , I live in Montreal Canada . We use to get good clean heroin, but in a matter of few months id say around 2020, it became more and more intense strong. The color instead of a brown color , started to become green and sometimes reddish tint. Then we knew it was nitazene , tranqs and fentanyl. Thing is when you touch this crap , you don’t want heroin it’s not strong enough. I think dealers don’t care if some of their clients dies. Because the stronger it is , addicts will comeback to it. Even if their a potential if OD. 😢😢
I was allergic to morphine (big time it stops my heart) when I had to have major surgery (18 hours.) I was meant to be on Fentanyl for 7 days. I wanted to come off it early against my doctor's wishes, I would only be able to take paracetamol for the pain. I couldn't deal with the crazy dreams etc.. after the 4 days I quit and I had withdrawal. From wood swings to shaking. It's a terrifying drug.
Yeah well it's like how they expulse legal immigrants for the slightest irregularities but they can't touch the illegal ones cuz they don't have control over the underworld. They just don't have a handle on it
Fentanyl saved my life. I was suffering debilitating nerve pain and was on the brink of suicide then I was prescribed fentanyl patches and there’s nothing like it for pain relief when used correctly as directed by a doctor. The patches I was prescribed released 50 micrograms an hour and I’d change the patch every 3 days.
You are using it in a controlled medical environment as well, and fentanyl in the medical department is much different than fentanyl on the streets. Xylazine is the most common thing found in all batches of street fent nowadays with much more added than just that
This shows how little politicians knows and actually cares about whats going on. Addicts will always change to other alternatives if their drug of choice arent available.
How Naive are you? The Taliban were not so moral in the 90s when they grew and sold opium to fund their war effort. They are hypocrites and always have been just like how at their founding they promised to protect the civilian population from the warlords but when they encircled Kabul in 1996 they fired thousands of rocket artillery rounds indiscriminately at civilian areas killing women and children.
Seconds later they claim the international community asked them to stop growing it, while American troops were actively defending and profiting from the fields.
Word of warning. I am using the buvidal injection to stay clean (8 months now yay), and somebody died recently here in North Devon as Nitazines hit a few weekends ago. They were using the maximum Buvidal monthly injection and smoked a small amount of Nitazine gear and it knocked the blocker off the receptor and killed them.
That'll happen when opioid blockers were never intended to work on nitazene OD. Nitazenes are a novel class of opioids and target subtypes of mu opioid receptor that fentanyl won't even touch. Information isn't easy to find on the precise pharmacodynamics of this class of drugs and, beyond its particularly thorough activation of mu opioid receptors, I wonder what other effects they may have since the broader class of chemical designation, benzimidazoles include drugs that lower blood pressure, act as antipsychotic drugs via effects on multiple dopamine receptors, serve as antiparasitic agents, antihistamines or proton pump inhibitors. Prilosec is a benzimidazole drug in common use. Haloperidol is a benzimidazole. Although first isolated in the 1950s, benzimidazole opioids have been largely poorly studied. One was marketed in the Netherlands as a pain medication but, following the near instantaneous death of a 5 year old child after swallowing one of their mother's pills, it was pulled from the market. Tramadol is a relatively weak mu opioid agonist but it is also a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and abuse of tramadol can lead to serotonin syndrome, a severe, life threatening condition. Serotonin activity by nitazenes could explain why people get narcan, come back briefly and then die. Serotonin syndrome can be mistaken for opioid overdose. Therapeutic window is the difference between the minimum effective dose and the lethal dose and it is very small with nitazenes, especially for an addict. As dangerous as fentanyl is without accurate dosing, it is still a valid medicine in a hospital setting. Nitazenes have no recognized medical use and for good reason. They are simply too dangerous. An order of magnitude or two more potent than fentanyl. With fentanyl, there are ways to test potency. Even if you can't get a lab test, you can follow the rules for testing whether an unknown plant is edible. You don't just go bang it up the second you get it. Have a little tiny taste. If that doesn't do anything, you can have a tiny puff of smoke and gradually work from there. You can always put more in but you can't easily take it back out. Nitazenes are so dangerous that a poorly cut batch could kill you just from a little taste.
The Opiod crisis in the US is because physicians stopped prescribing and cut patients off "cold turkey" I work as a nurse and have had patients that have been on Tylenol #3 for 5 years for chronic pain. US Government makes new requirements on physicians such as new classes, verifying prescriptions, threats of closing down their practices, etc. You cant quit cold turkey very easily so people go to the street. Maybe if patients were tapered off the meds there wouldnt be such a terrible crisis. Oh, there would still be a crisis, but maybe less.
Legalize pure heroin. Sounds crazy, but Canada has Heroin Clinics for long-term opioid users that are stuck on fentanyl. You go in, you're handed a needle full of diacetylmorphine (heroin) and you can safely administer it in the clinic. It's regulated, has helped people get their lives back, go back to school, even drastically & gradually decrease their usage. It sounds extreme but sometimes that's what it takes.
Yes the proof is there.. We need this in UK.. I have seen people re build lives businesses n families working again... Politicians ignore experts n sack them so I guess they not really interested in REAL change at all...
I spoke to 50 people who were in that programs . Everyone said it’s getting you way more addicted and you getting nowhere. They just say they are doing better so the programs keep handing out the free pure H.
3:21 Plenty of users of fentanyl users in Lithuania too especially in train station but made it's way to suburbs , hood next to mines are having dealers selling fentanyl and once in a while drug users are seen there.
I did it. I took pills of any kind for about 10 years, I finally got sick of not having any money, and doing things for money that I'm not proud of. I was a functional addict with a good job , but I knew I would need a newer car sooner or later to keep my job. I started on buprenorphine, stayed on it with only 2 relapses. I was on it for another ten years until i finally got off it. You can do it. Some people stay on the buprenorphine forever, but that's ok.

I was using heroin for 18 years and been clean for 2+ years now, I watched the Opioid pandemic slowly turn from Heroin into fentanyl, what happened was the dealers start cutting the heroin with it and in no time at all the users need the fentanyl more than the heroin. They start to look for the fentanyl because heroin isn’t strong enough and doesn’t stop enough of the withdrawal from the fentanyl. Most of the users that switch from heroin to fentanyl don’t do it because they like fentanyl more they do it because they will be dope sick if they don’t. Most heroin users will tell you they want pure heroin but you can barely even find it in America anymore and if you do it’s weak heroin. So glad I am not a prisoner anymore.
DEALERS cut reg. Heroin with Fenty it gives the so called heroin a " bigger hit" a user gets a bigger hit from their wht they THINK is heroin its a way of making them " loyal" to certain dealer and the " word" gets around tht dealers heroin is MORE POTENT insuring the dealer $ and then the dealer mixes more and more fenty in their supply then the high content heroin gets cut with Trang. A horse tranquilizer because users think " nodding out is a sign the heroin/ fenty is "great" but it kills the tiny blood vessels around the injection site and when users find a " great" injection site they keep injectioning in the same site CREATING AN ULCER or " honeyhole" it gets infected with staph ppl dont have basic personal care HOW CAN THEY care for a gangerous ulcer on the street and when they FINALLY go to ED drs dont treat with respect they see them them as " drug seeking addicts" which are the lowest of low in society not THE SICK DYING HUMAN they are they are someone's child / parent etc and the truth is MOST ADDICTS don't want to be addicts they are AFRAID OF GETTING sick the with drawl from opiods is AWFUL ( I personally have gone thru it I have a spinal cord injury thts why I'm prescribed pain rx) but the withdrawal starts where your cold freezing but SWEATING at the same time the most intense burning muscle aches ever and I've broken my back withdrawal is worst you can't not find a comfortable spot your antsy like nothing you have ever felt before then the nausea and diarrhea start then when you have zero left in your colon and your dry heaving at the same time you become dehydrated and begin to see things your b/ p drops dangerously low and you have been awake now 7-10days and your body has begun to eat itself you lose up to 25lbs I did the proven treatment tht WORKS is a gradually stepping dwn the opioid dose with personal therapy job training giving ppl hope because addiction is TRAUMA+ ENVIRONMENT + PERSONALITY + DNA= ADDICTION pure and simple where I live putting addicts in jail is an industry some entire small towns economies depend on addicts going to jail repeatedly this is how it works twn arrests in 2022 1 person for drugs they arrest 3 ppl in 2023 they NOW can apply ( even if those ppl didn't live in community and were passing thru) for state and federal funds CLAIMING drugs and drug "crimes" have gone up 150% in his small twn ( even if drug amrita was reside in a baggie) and he will get funds ( those funds come from $ seized from drug dealers ) he may choose to hire a cop or buy a worthless toy like a drone the police dept has no training to use but if he chooses to hire a cop tht cop has to live and pay rent somewhere has to buy groceries somewhere ALL THT BOUGHT WITH GRANT $ FROM SEIZEX FUNDS FROM DRUG DEALERS so the government NEEDS DRUG DEALERS without them tht cop gets let go etc the " war" on drugs WILL NEVER BE SOLVED another thing is there is not enough jobs to fully employ entire generation of males and there is still an undercover fear of PIC in some communities and they prefer them locked up and caught up in a system they can't get out of
Good herion gives you a way bettrr high tho. Fentwnyl makes you nod out too much. You enjoy the buzz for like a hour then fall asleep or die. Atleast with herion you can enjoy the buzz much longer without completely going out. Depending on how much you do.
I’m sober now, too, but I remember when fent first started popping up in the area my friends & I grabbed from in the mid 2010s. I hated it at first, didn’t enjoy the high at all…I’d end up passed out almost immediately, wake up & need more. No real euphoria. But the more I used it, exactly like you said, I ended up needing it just to feel “normal” & not be sick. By the end, if I didn’t turn into a comatose zombie after a line or two, I didn’t consider it worth doing. That was normal to me, after years of doing it. Insane.

That is sad. The addicts don't want to work just lie around and get high and when they are not doing that they are stealing to support their habit that is another way they hurt people. They leave a trail of misery wherever they go for other people. . My uncle used to steal from his mother.

If a group with-in a country had a ware house the size of a mountain brimming to the cealing with nacotic drugs legally with in their own country. Then that would likely be no problem if bussiness was conducted legitamately. The war against drugs is not against those but is against offenders trying to by-pass federal importation control laws. IE illegal smugglers totally unprepraed to contribute to a health care system or doctors bills ETC when the suffering start to go really wrong. In the case of the illegal smuggle (competition) their supply is a form of victimisation rather than proper medical help. Their interests are purly money and not health. So sorry. But yes there has been a 'war against illegal drugs'. You could benefit from reading some of the storys of those serving long prison sentences.

@@AmazonEspionage And it wasn't before? Nevermind the potential death, but it ruins your life and relationships with damn near everyone.
I’m a paramedic in Glasgow and my colleagues and I often know there’s a bad batch doing the rounds certainly before politicians but fairly often even before the police. IVDUs will do the most they can to hide from the police but we often see them at their very lowest point. They phone us when their friends are dying in front of them. Most of them know we don’t want to judge them, just help however we can. We issue take home narcan kits which contain enough naloxone in a pre filled syringe to take most regular users right through into cold turkey. We have begun again in the last few months getting calls saying they have given the entire syringe and the person began to wake up but they tanked again. All we can do is attempt to give more (IV access is likely to be incredibly difficult for us on someone who has bashed the hell out of their veins for years) support their breathing to avoid hypoxic brain injury and bolt to the hospital. It’s heartbreaking when we meet people who tell us how they’ve lost friends, partners, parents and sometimes their children to dodgy batches mixed with who know what.
NHS is part of the government - government created this problem
I was an addict in Glasgow for 20 years. Out of interest, how do you administer the naloxone if someone has run out of veins? Would it be an IM injection, or a spray to target capillaries in the nasal, or anal, passage?
Do you not have access to the naloxone nasal spray in Scotland?
@@raoulduke344 SAS gives out IM kits that contain 2mg/2ml naloxone. That officially 5 doses. IM is the only kits we have to hand out. Police Scotland and some of the harm reduction teams carry the nasal sprays. The nasal sprays are good because there’s no risk of uncapped high-risk needle stick injuries. The nasal spray is fast but they tend to be lower doses, I think the last one I saw the police use was 0.8mg. That’s a double dose but it holds the pt over until we get there. I used to work with a SAS veteran who was particularly good at jugular access for IV naloxone in some of our more long term users as very very few attempt to mess about with the jugular vein. Scared the 💩 out me trying it though!
ETA I think some of the harm reduction teams will also hand out the nasal sprays if you ask.
@@Updatenotavailable the police and harm reduction teams do. However we tend to go IV if we can, we have enough practice to be somewhat needle ninjas when required! If not it’s a double dose IM and supported breathing to hospital. It’s the hypoxia that’s so dangerous . The police can’t secure an airway and give o2 and ventilations
who would have thought that we would be saying "can we just have old fashioned heroin back?"
This is all by design. Governments are behind the drugs trade. This is a war on socety´s lowest. It´s the biggest lie going that Afganistan produces nearly all the west heroin supply. The country that supplies the Acetic anhydride, is also a key producer without the Acetic anhydride, there would be no heroin.

@@Leo-pv9zi did I say the drugs were natural? No. You obviously don’t know what natural selection is so I will clue you in; natural selection refers to the dying out of stupid people, and only a stupid person would take this drug, so naturally, they will die out. There are many instances of natural selection and taking dangerous drugs is definitely in the category. Let me guess, it’s probably someone else’s fault and these people wouldn’t be dying if the drug wasn’t invented; see that’s the thing about natural selection and how it only affects stupid people; if they didn’t have this drug, they’d find something else. Crazy that this needs to be explained really but then again maybe you’re in the category so the IQ level isn’t quite there. Good luck.
There's many reports coming out now proving lockdowns were a terrible way to handle covid, the world leaders messed up big time, whether that was deliberate or just idiocy is up for debate.

I’m now a defense attorney but for 10 years I was a probation officer in Massachusetts. I remember when the transition from heroin to fentanyl started. First it was that heroin was cut with fentanyl. then over about a 12-18 month period, heroin disappeared. My last few years as a probation officer not a single person tested positive for morphine (the most common metabolite in heroin). It was all fentanyl. Overdoses rose like crazy. Incredibly sad.
The war on drugs is a failure. The transition to fentanyl and the staggering overdose deaths that followed is a direct result of the war on drugs. It must end !
You should come visit Oregon where we surrendered and legalized everything. In a couple of years things are 10x worse, addiction is way up, OD deaths are way up. We're getting ready to admit the error and re-criminalize drugs to give the police the power to try to control the situation..

@@MultiSciGeek You stated 'the pharmaceutical companies and doctors are who introduces people In the US to heroin use'. Almost as if you blaimed or accused US pharmaceutical companies and doctors of being one of the key groups behind the US problem. But are there therefore no regulatory laws in the USA? Is heroin not a controlled substance as it is over here in England requiring a licence as well as qualification to distribute or prescribe. So therefore heroin or opiates is a prescription only drug which can only be prescribe by qualified and licenced dorctors? So how is it that they as you stated are behind an epidemic of illegal uncontrolled non qualified use by those poor supposed addicts. The doctors are only permitted to prescribe for medical reasons and so any opioid prescriptions are for servea medical needs. The US pharmaceutical companies are not pushing street drugs or drugs for illegal purposes. Their licence to supply is dependant upon their supplys being to only prescription cases when the drug is prescription only. Those junkies you see in the video cooking up their junk on tin foil is some derilict environment are users of the underground black market buying from unlicenced non qualified criminals. Is that not how it is really? See that guy at 10:47 using strrt methods! If a qualified doctor prescribed and instructed him to do that then the doctor could be struck off and lose nearly $100,000 dollars per annum legitamate income.

This is pure ignorance, most people are testing their drugs from what I’ve seen. It’s natural selection in a way, if you aren’t gonna test it, your playing Russian roulette. you just HAVE to assume it’s all fentanyl.
Learn the facts about which drugs are which. You may come into some pain in your life one day and it's not all the same. There is a lot of ignorance provided by puritans in the war on drugs who lie and say that beer is the same as moonshine. It is not. And you have to find out the appropriate dose and have a safe supply, you learn this by talking to people who have experience. There are so many drug poisonings that happen for people like you who stay away mostly and then one day try it without being taught the basics. Coffee is a dangerous drug also and will cause a heart attack fatality if you take the wrong dose of caffeine. Knowledge is what will keep you safe, not being pure. There is no such thing as pure drug free, our body is made of chemicals.
There is other ways for you to get hooked. I got into an accident at work and injured my right side of my body in 2012 and since then ive lived with pain and after 46 different medications in 3 years just to avoid morphine, i had to start on morphine and now im hooked on morphine which is just the same but different name.
So hope you never get injuries/chronic pain.
it's the drugs who find you. either through injury like the person above mentioned, but there is also a specific kind of lost individual that drugs attract, as part of drives for escape and self-destruction, coupled with low self-control. it's not just any kid who hits a blunt to experiment

@@luckyduck_. Agreed. People with no hope, and no foreseeable way forward. It's the thing that never seems to get talked about - there will always be drugs around, but it's the desire people feel to get spaced out that's the main issue. Personally, I've never a desire to buy street drugs, and if I can make that initial choice, so can others.
Also, people need to stop talking about weed as though it's not a gateway drug, or is somehow healthy because it's "natural". It's BS. But if you question it with a weed smoker they use the very tired argument of "what about alcohol"?!?

For my euro homies: Sounds like its already started there tbh. Brace yourselves. I was a teenager and young adult at the start of the opiate crisis in america. Lost alot of friends that I wish were still here with me now. And even got caught up in it myself for a time. Dont make the mistake of believing that it only happens to {{insert people your biased against}} because if you're caught off guard, it can and will take people close to you and no one will come out untouched. :\
Luckily for me, when we were young 20 years ago we only had weed, X, coke, K, hydro/oxy and shrooms to play with. No fetanyl or spice synthetics back then
Things are already like this for a long time, can still remember about 10 years ago seeiing those big traffic signs (in Amsterdam centrum) you could tow behind your car to usually have something about the traffic on them like this way is closed take follow this route or whatever, but now they were saying dont buy heroine as there was something wrong with it dont know the excat message anymore but it was because some people died and almost died within a weekend because of bad heroine so the city put such signs up for a couple weeks. I excatly believe the caught the dealler selling that stuff aswell but not to sure about that.
on a another note the Netherlands goverment also provides some hardcore heroine addicts with heroine so they get clean heroine as there isnt that much of a market so the heroine out there is crap and it also helps these users to somewhat get a life and dont go out stealing or always thinking where to get there other hit. I dont imagine you could do this in USA as there are way to many of such users but here it works quite well.
@@larryc1616 fentanyl was definitely around then. It’s carfentanyl that’s being sold in the streets. Fentanyl has been used in the medical setting for a looong time.

if you know even a little about how the drug market and addiction work and are connected to each other, it just makes you sad how governments around the world are handling the problem
You think this isn't allowed/encouraged/facilitated by governments? Think maybe the reason US left Afghanistan is the heroin profits fell from the change to fentanyl? Maybe needed big pharma to profit from new drugs? Few of those in power are anything but self serving.
The goverment is in on it, 100%!!
Yep. Handling... - they created the problem.

I watch kids going and coming from high school behind my house doing joints/gummies/crack.Then attending classes. Lucky teachers eh?
There will be no shortage of customers, just new younger ones.
Moral of the story - never trust a drug dealer.
i think its because of side contamination of other chemicals used in the synthesis, most pure produced drugs aren't as dangerous as the ones that get passed around second hand and are produced in house etc.
for example people tested north korean drugs and they were the purest in the world, very rare to find but hard to over dose on those

There has been an opioid problem here in Scotland for as long as I can remember. It’s just never talked about.
in 1979 you couldn't see any opioids in Scotland - then in the 1980's it boomed.
The huge difference between the US and Europe is that doctors in the US have prescribed opiods even for easy things like backpains. Purdue has made a huge amount of money of this drug...and many couldn´t stay away from it after the "regular" use.
THAT PART
Purdue's success was due in part to Arthur Sackler, a brilliant polymath who paid for his medical education by working in an advertising agency and brought the hard sell to the prescription drug industry. He bought Napp, a British company which developed the "Continus" slow-release system later used by Purdue for their opiod drugs.
The majority of first time users weren't taking any prescribed opioids, this isn't happening anymore. There was a time of over prescription but now you have to be half dead to get pain meds.
But, some ppl like me can function with those pills they prescribed once the doctors started shutdown no one or nothing could help with my pain
Its crazy, i was a heroin user more than 35 years ago.
This stuff is crazy. They need to make changes to the law and stop these synthetics getting into all countries.
I know its hard, but this stuff should scare you straight.
Well sadly the law makers are still so uneducated about drugs that they think weed is on the same level as heroin. There's no way they'll be able to recognize the danger coming from this
Na it’s ok if you don’t inject it like a dumbass and buy from the street

The problem is people, for whatever reason, trying hard drugs when they are suffering from mental health issues or when they struggle with their emotions. Nobody wakes up deciding to be a heroin addict. I didn't.
Sure, I had to make the changes and do the work to get better and clean but statements like yours are what demonise and victim blame. The people bringing it into the country are scum. They know they are profiting off peoples misery and they don't care.
The problem is the total lack of mental health support in the U.K and attitudes like yours that make people feel they can't be honest and ask for help. Addicion is an illness. You'll never understand unless you've suffered it, but the most relatable thing I can compare it to is OCD. Which is a recognised disorder.
Would you tell an OCD sufferer that they are the problem? I seriously hope not. And don't forget heroin is given to cancer patients as a painkiller. It has many legal applications in medicine. Are you going to tell a cancer sufferer who gets hooked on Diacytlmorphine (heroin) that they are the problem too? Again, I really hope not.

Checking for Nitazenes isn't going to help. Metonitazine and Etonitazene are being put in the heroin from the top of the supply chain, currently no heroin in the UK doesn't contain Nitazenes.

Highly unlikely. While we might see an increase in overdose deaths the opioid crisis in the US has been largely driven by inappropriate prescription procedures by doctors. We don't prescribe opioids like in the US (at least in the UK) so it's highly unlikely we will see the same massive increase in opioid users as has occurred over the past 2-3 decades in the US.
I did like the section about how access to more pure heroin has helped reduced deaths. We saw a similar thing with cannabis smokers and spice. Very few people ever had a serious problem with cannabis but spice absolutely tore through communities. We should probably just regulate safer recreational drugs as we do with alcohol and for harder drugs prescribe clean, pure product to addicts if they engage with treatment services.
I was looking for a comment like that. Exactly - central Europe here. Any legal drug containing opioids is highly regulated and they are prescribed on a special type of prescription (and usually only as a last resort if weaker drugs fail). My country has a population of ca. 40 million and we get ca. 250 overdose deaths yearly.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.

Again, a clear example how most problems with drug abuse come from letting the market be uncontrolled. Some humans always have done drugs throughout history, yet the biggest problems with it have arisen since the UN drug convention criminalizes use of most drugs - One almost could think this could have been one of the largest successful collaborations of organized crime and big pharma, both being the main profiteers of drug criminalization, while all others pay heavily for this enormous blunder of society.
In the 90´s Portugal had one of the highest rates of drug overdoses and HIV, among drug users in Europe. They decided to do something new, decriminalisation of all drugs for personal use and spend money helping the addicts instead. It worked. I think we need to help addicts, not punish them.
Yes they gave with 1 hand and took with the other hence same outcome as nothing ? ie very slyly done that's why nothing has really changed there etc the reason I didn't mention where is because I want people to use the initiative and look and research for themselves also to give ideas to help us all etc and not just 1 demographic anyway it all boils down to if druxs were legal and free no one would want them ie not oh if you have this that n this amount your ok but anything over and ? etc but anyway thanks for your info and input sis 👍🏻

How Naive are you? The Taliban were not so moral in the 90s when they grew and sold opium to fund their war effort. They are hypocrites and always have been just like how at their founding they promised to protect the civilian population from the warlords but when they encircled Kabul in 1996 they fired thousands of rocket artillery rounds indiscriminately at civilian areas killing women and children.
It´s NOT the Taliban. The Triads are the controlling force. Without Acetic anhydride, there is no heroin.
Seconds later they claim the international community asked them to stop growing it, while American troops were actively defending and profiting from the fields.
can you help me understand what really happened? I'm pretty clueless
Word of warning. I am using the buvidal injection to stay clean (8 months now yay), and somebody died recently here in North Devon as Nitazines hit a few weekends ago. They were using the maximum Buvidal monthly injection and smoked a small amount of Nitazine gear and it knocked the blocker off the receptor and killed them.
That'll happen when opioid blockers were never intended to work on nitazene OD. Nitazenes are a novel class of opioids and target subtypes of mu opioid receptor that fentanyl won't even touch. Information isn't easy to find on the precise pharmacodynamics of this class of drugs and, beyond its particularly thorough activation of mu opioid receptors, I wonder what other effects they may have since the broader class of chemical designation, benzimidazoles include drugs that lower blood pressure, act as antipsychotic drugs via effects on multiple dopamine receptors, serve as antiparasitic agents, antihistamines or proton pump inhibitors. Prilosec is a benzimidazole drug in common use. Haloperidol is a benzimidazole. Although first isolated in the 1950s, benzimidazole opioids have been largely poorly studied. One was marketed in the Netherlands as a pain medication but, following the near instantaneous death of a 5 year old child after swallowing one of their mother's pills, it was pulled from the market. Tramadol is a relatively weak mu opioid agonist but it is also a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and abuse of tramadol can lead to serotonin syndrome, a severe, life threatening condition. Serotonin activity by nitazenes could explain why people get narcan, come back briefly and then die. Serotonin syndrome can be mistaken for opioid overdose.
Therapeutic window is the difference between the minimum effective dose and the lethal dose and it is very small with nitazenes, especially for an addict. As dangerous as fentanyl is without accurate dosing, it is still a valid medicine in a hospital setting. Nitazenes have no recognized medical use and for good reason. They are simply too dangerous. An order of magnitude or two more potent than fentanyl.
With fentanyl, there are ways to test potency. Even if you can't get a lab test, you can follow the rules for testing whether an unknown plant is edible. You don't just go bang it up the second you get it. Have a little tiny taste. If that doesn't do anything, you can have a tiny puff of smoke and gradually work from there. You can always put more in but you can't easily take it back out. Nitazenes are so dangerous that a poorly cut batch could kill you just from a little taste.
The Opiod crisis in the US is because physicians stopped prescribing and cut patients off "cold turkey" I work as a nurse and have had patients that have been on Tylenol #3 for 5 years for chronic pain. US Government makes new requirements on physicians such as new classes, verifying prescriptions, threats of closing down their practices, etc. You cant quit cold turkey very easily so people go to the street. Maybe if patients were tapered off the meds there wouldnt be such a terrible crisis. Oh, there would still be a crisis, but maybe less.

Thank you for showing the uncensored truth by including prime exemples and interviewing experts that really know what is going on
Legalize pure heroin. Sounds crazy, but Canada has Heroin Clinics for long-term opioid users that are stuck on fentanyl. You go in, you're handed a needle full of diacetylmorphine (heroin) and you can safely administer it in the clinic. It's regulated, has helped people get their lives back, go back to school, even drastically & gradually decrease their usage. It sounds extreme but sometimes that's what it takes.
Spot on. Has worked magnificently in Switzerland. Would add that they should also provide smokeable #3 as not all addicts regularly inject.
Yes the proof is there.. We need this in UK.. I have seen people re build lives businesses n families working again... Politicians ignore experts n sack them so I guess they not really interested in REAL change at all...
I spoke to 50 people who were in that programs . Everyone said it’s getting you way more addicted and you getting nowhere. They just say they are doing better so the programs keep handing out the free pure H.
@@JulioEuropePharmaVendor The statistics disagree with you. And your username kinda undermines what you are saying.
@@jonathanp89 yeah legalize pure heroin
fentanyl killed my best friend laced in cocaine smh...
U from America
where did this happen?
3:21 Plenty of users of fentanyl users in Lithuania too especially in train station but made it's way to suburbs , hood next to mines are having dealers selling fentanyl and once in a while drug users are seen there.
Im fighting my way off oxy after 12 years. Its hell but I'm scared if i cant get off it I'm gonna end up like this
you will end up on cheap street opiiods sooner or later if you dont get off. Stay strong you friend
I did it. I took pills of any kind for about 10 years, I finally got sick of not having any money, and doing things for money that I'm not proud of. I was a functional addict with a good job , but I knew I would need a newer car sooner or later to keep my job. I started on buprenorphine, stayed on it with only 2 relapses. I was on it for another ten years until i finally got off it. You can do it. Some people stay on the buprenorphine forever, but that's ok.
You can do it! I'm 5 months clean and just switched from methadone to subutex. You Can do it brother 💪🏼 😊
@@ShelleyBean1808 proud of you
what in the heck is the alternative to not fighting your way off, buddy? going back on it? stay your course like a ship on the stormy seas, you are the captain of your ship and you must make it all the way no matter the trials and tribulations along the way
VICE - KEEP UP THE POWERFUL MESSAGE ! We need this !!!!
Poverty breeds depression, depression leads to drug use and crime, which causes more depression and the cycle continues.
You talk about how before their addiction they were all normal and then after the addiction and overdoses its not their fault so just blame somebody let's blame somebody it's not gonna help at all if there is no demand for this drug, it would be shut down. i understand and I feel you where you're coming from. I have an addiction also, it's called delicious food and drinks nonalcoholic And the only one that iblamed is myself. Until that person are their families stop blaming someone else for what they are going through. It's all going downhill for them. They have to own up to it to get out of it. it is not the cartel in Mexico, and it is not the poppies growers in Afghanistan. Take a look in the mirror and you will see where the problem is coming from and who is to blame for that problem which is you.
@@rainaflores779 and what is with the people that die because theyre drugs are cut with nitazene when all they wanted were some benzodiazepines? Is it there fault as well?
I'd say trauma from abuse in childhood is the main source of issues.
@@charlottetaylor4471 yes, it is. In Childhood, you don't have much resilience compared to adults. The same Trauma could happen to an adult and a child where the adult maybe needs some therapy where the child on the other hand could suffer its whole life from it.
